David Levi did a good business on the west side of the range, having a good spring of water, a big herd of cattle and many fine horses. Later, Mr. Levi sold his ranch to "Big" John Murdock and Philo Farnsworth and came back to Beaver and bought land in the south field.
Cunningham Mathews' ranch is still known to all cattle and sheep men as a resting place while out on the West Range.
Others who have lived there from time to time are the Gillies brothers, the Bradshaw brothers, Collis Huntington, Barclough, and others. The Yardley brothers are the present owners.
Jorham Bradshaw has told of the wild horses which used to come in for water, when he lived on the ranch.
There would be hundreds of them come in and drink the spring dry. The ground around would be pounded to powder." said Mr. Bradshaw.
Mrs. Levi and daughters have told of the many pounds of cheese and butter they sold to travelers on their way to California. Friendly Indians were often hired to help with the work on the ranch and to do chores around the house and at the same time act as guard while the men folks were away in the fields.
ROCKY FORD
Sergeant Nathaniel V. Jones, 1st Lieutenant of Cavalry in the Mormon Battalion of Life Guards of Nauvoo Legion, was sent by Brigham Young to investigate the iron situation in Southern Utah. His first discovery was at Pinto Creek in 1861. In 1862, he settled at Rocky Ford, Beaver County, where he put up some buildings and prepared for the coming of winter, while he continued his search for iron and coal in this area.
Several families have resided at Rocky Ford since that time.
